Another gorgeous day in Denver and not too many cyclists in Deer Creek Canyon with the Pro Challenge wrapping up in downtown today. Ride Leader Heidi was joined by female cyclists Megan and Chris. This was Chris's first time up Deer Creek Canyon and Megan's first time doing the entire loop. With heat index climbing quickly, we opted to take the High Grade route to get to the school quicker where we could replenish our water and grab some snacks and energy drinks before ascending the backside of City View. All in all we covered 43 miles and survived the heat. The views were stellar as always. What a great way to spend a Sunday. We met several nice cyclists along the way; one guy who hadn't consumed all of his 2 water bottles before reaching the school, which we assumed meant he was part camel. Great job ladies on climbing strong and steady. Hope to see you both out again soon.
